EVERYBODY? PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT ONLY

“LETTY LYNTON.”

Steamer trunks and flying cameras a liner at 'sea, noiseless electric fans — these are just a few of the problems that go into the making of a talking picture. All of them, and more too, complicated the making of “Letty Lyiit n,” Metr -Go!dw y 11 -Mayer’a sensational drama with Joan Crawford ancl Robert Montgomery which, will open to-night at the Princess Theatre.

In the steamer dock scene several hundred trunks, handbags and other luggage were needed. The, studio property department rented almost every piece of luggage in the Los Angeles stores. Jn cue sequence, a great ocean liner was used. Cameras had to he swung alongside it In' means of huge “booms’ on which director and cameraman perched for many of the “shots.’" There was a party aboard ship— ancl waiters carried letters of ice frozen around electric; globes to spell “Merry Christmas.’’ Several hundred meals were ccokod and served in this particular sequence. An elaborate cast appears. Nils Astlier, Swedish screen hero returns to the screen with hi s new mastery of the English language to play the sensational role of the South American lover. Lewis Stone enacts the district attorney and May Robson plays the heroine’s stc-rn mother. The east also includes Louise dosser Hale, Emma Dunn, Walter Walker ancl William Pawley,
